Here's a weird thing ...

This is from the home page:

Posts: 24,842,884

Threads: 3,061,212

So that means that the average thread has 8.115375217 posts.

Doesn't that seem way short?

How many no-response threads must be started to offset the 1000-post threads that we're always seeing?

What exactly is an MSDS number?
Well, apparently it's a Material Safety Data Sheet. But I had no idea about that until just now.

And why do they interest you so much?
They don't. The num,ber has a different source. :)

What's the source of the number? You must realize after that last post just how nerdy I am. I have to know what that number means!

Btw, did you know that the ratio between the length and width of an A4 piece of paper is 1 to the square root of 2? I calculated that one evening when I had a few spare minutes.

That's funny; I just told him he was a computer nerd a little while ago....but that is just one of the things I find sooo appealing!!

Yeah, I know what a MSDS sheet-thingy is, we had to have one of those when I worked with photo chemicals.

OK Theo, (everybody else can skip the rest of this post or risk terminal boredom)

You remember my old username? It was my initials. That number is the base 10 equivalent of a base 27 number.

Of course, the space to the left of the decimal point is the one's (units). Using the English alphabet to represent the base 27 numerals, G = 7 in base 10. (A = 1, B = 2, etc.) G = 7*1 = 7

The next space left in base 27 is the 27's. K = 11, so KG = 11*27 + 7*1 = 297 + 7 = 304.

Next is 27*27 or the 729's. A=1, so AKG = 1*729 + 11*27 + 7*1 =729 + 297 + 7 = 1033.

I'll let you finish it off yourself. :thumbsup:
